    Has Spring arrived ?

    What a beautiful day it is, in London anyway

    The sun is out and you can feel its warmth on your back

    No need for a coat any more. 6 months of glorious sunshine to come

    And drought in that case...

    However, I think that rain is forecast for next week, so don't put the pac-a-mac away yet

    You going abroad or something?

    A nice day it was too yesterday - one of my workmates had a day off as well so we went and had a cricket net. Bit early to get a tan though - the only red marks this morning are from where the ball twice hit me on the thigh

    Yep and its going to rain tomorrow. Just in time for some visiting dancers. Its been sunny a good bit this wek (it currently is, but not going to last long I think).

    I've been driving into work in the sunshine, smiling, singing and car dancing.

    Til I get into work, then a little cloud seems to settle.

    Spring arrived briefly but has now gone away again. It's cold enough to freeze a polar bear here! And the heating has clapped out for the fifth time in three weeks!!! Last week was eating ice cream on the waterfront, this week shivering in winter woolies! Hope spring comes back soon

    If only I'd known you were free...I needed someone to keep my THREE (count them) kids occupied while I cooked the snorkers.

    Dont worry Barry...I'll send you an invite for the next one.

    Spend most of day on the beach watching the Hastings half marathon with my son.

    Was really nice weather. Not yet able to sunbath but no need for jumpers either.

    how weird is this weather. Not had any snow here in East london or in Beds. but driving along the A1m this morning, ensuring i didn't miss the M25 turn off, a car sped past with snow caked up its back window (or ice). I still cant think how that happened and how only one car had it.

    Any predictions for what it might be like by early May? This is when I'm back - hoping to have skipped the cold and for Spring to certainly have begun.
